A man has been treated for smoke inhalation after his house at Salisbury in Adelaide's north caught on fire.

The blaze began in a car parked under a car port and spread to the roof of the property on Cross Keys Road just before 8.30pm ACDT.

The MFS says the damage bill is likely to be around $70,000.

The cause of the fire is being investigated but it is not believed to be suspicious.
