The homeowner, who had been in the kitchen at the rear of the terraced property, said the car had "bounced" back after the impact and come to rest outside the house.
"She told officers that she heard a bang and discovered the car in the living room," said a spokesman for North Yorkshire Police.
"A 100-metre cordon has been placed on the stretch of road and footpath while the recovery operation is completed and to allow a structural assessment of the damaged house."
Witnesses to the collision are asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room. Please quote reference NYP-12012016-0186.
