In far West Plano, you’ll find a truly unique gated community full of custom-built homes, each boasting its own kind of European style. Honestly, a luxury living experience might be more accessible than ever before, but there is something genuinely special about Normandy Estates and this home that proves substance can meet style and that the combination can be stunning!
Follow the tree-lined neighborhood entrance off of Spring Creek Parkway through the guard gate, then take a quick left and your first left again. Three homes into the block, you’ll find 6508 Josephine Street. From the outside alone, you can see that this home (built in 2019) has a lot to offer its inhabitants. Refined finishes, tight angles, brilliant layout - this home can fit a variety of lifestyles. Places to entertain? Absolutely. Quiet spaces to relax and reflect? Sure. Spend time with family, get some work done on a weekend, or gather friends for a pool party and BBQ? No problem at all. With three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a couple of bonus spaces, there is plenty of room for flexibility too.
The front entry for the home (no alley) makes for easy access to a three-car garage. The driveway has been paved with brick and the landscaping has been outlined in stone. The combination of styles, colors, and textures brings interest to the overall outdoor design. Then, once you step through the front door, the beauty continues to shine! In the front foyer, there is a half bath to your right and a formal office to your left, making it easy to work from home and perfect for greeting clients and guests.
Follow the short hallway to an open-concept living space. The living room is anchored by a modern, gas log fireplace and gorgeous views of the backyard. The gourmet kitchen has a Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a butlers pantry plus a large granite island with extra room for seating. Other amenities include a built-in wine cooler and tankless water heater. The dining room offers more views of the backyard and, like most other spaces in this home, it is a wonderful place to showcase photos and artwork. The lighting throughout the home lends to the modern European aesthetic. The kitchen, dining, and bathroom light fixtures cannot be missed!
Most of the downstairs rooms have rich, dark brown wood flooring throughout, giving plenty of space for accent rugs and throws. Bathrooms have marble or tile flooring and the grey and white scroll pattern of the ceramic tile in the laundry/mud room brings life to this area. The upstairs rooms have carpet. Every space has been utilized so well, bringing purpose and adding storage in all of the important areas.
Downstairs, the Owner's retreat has plenty of room to relax and the ensuite bath features a garden tub, spacious shower, dual sinks, and vanities, plus a walk-in closet with custom storage solutions. A second bedroom is also downstairs with the third bedroom being on the second level, both with ensuite baths too. The second level also hosts a landing area and a media/game room.
This lot is more than 25% larger than most of the other zero lot lines in the community, so this home boasts enough space in the side and back yards for an outdoor living area complete with a pool and covered patio. In fact, the patio has Phantom Screens that can bring comfort to your outside living area, a welcome feature throughout the heat of summer (and through our other fickle seasons too).
If hanging out with more neighbors is your style, Normandy Estates offers a private amenities center and fitness room, plus an outdoor pavilion with a grill and community pool. It’s the perfect place for larger get-togethers. You can find a stocked private lake in the northeast corner of the neighborhood, complete with a fishing pier and decorative fountain.
As you are out enjoying the neighborhood, you’ll find that the Normandy Estates style has been captured by six esteemed Texas-based custom builders — Alford Homes, Bob Thompson Homes, Hawkins-Welwood Homes, Mark Smith Custom Homes, Sharif Munir, and Starside Custom Builders. It’s a gift to find a neighborhood that offers both cohesive styles and unique designs.
We know that the perfect home has to offer more than elegance and more than efficiency. For most people living in North Texas, it’s just a fact that we could live anywhere. So why call Plano, or more specifically 6508 Josephine Street, home? Let’s count a few ways:
Lifestyle - Golf & Fitness
A few local Country Clubs offer some world-renown golf courses, plus an array of fitness facilities, dining options, and social gatherings. From this home on Josephine Street, you are just 2.7 miles from Stonebriar Country Club (which hosts two courses to accommodate all skill levels and some recently renovated social offerings) and 5.1 miles from Gleneagles Country Club (one of the most time-honored and historic clubs in the area; features two outstanding courses and a slew of amenities that other clubs strive to match.) Both clubs are great overall and have full, golf, and social memberships. They are continuing to innovate each year to bring the best service they can to their members and guests. Also, The Clubs of Prestonwood | The Hills is less than 10 minutes away. Their course encompasses rolling hills, crystal waterscapes, and a profusion of natural foliage. The Clubs has 6 different membership categories so you can find one that works best for you.

Lifestyle - Shopping & Dining
With Legacy West to the northeast and Grandscape to the northwest, you'll have a quick and easy drive to DFW’s most popular shopping and dining destinations. We would be remiss to not share a few favorites:
- Happy Hour at Tommy Bahama, followed by tuna nachos at Masero or really anything with burrata at North Italia makes for the perfect evening.
- Keep everyone in your family supplied for their activities by visiting Scheels; their store in The Colony has more than 331,000 square feet of sporting goods, clothing, shoes, and more (the largest in the country).
- When it comes time to shop, Legacy West is accumulating a long list of luxury and making them quite easily accessible: Chanel, Coach, Free People, Fabletics, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Peloton, Sephora, Tesla, and Tiffany have joined the tenants, just to name a few.
Education
Lewisville ISD is consistently named a Top 50 district in Texas and a great place for kids interested in extracurriculars. Last year, Hebron High School was awarded for its Exemplary High School Band Program and it has been called one of the best school districts for athletes in Texas. Children living in this area of Normandy Estates would also attend Hicks Elementary and Arbor Creek Middle School - go Eagles!
Natural Beauty
To a local, we need only say: Arbor Hills. This nature preserve is a 200-acre park featuring vast areas of natural beauty for walking, jogging, hiking, and more. DFW Child says, “Be sure to visit the Observation Tower for an unparalleled view of the city and the preserve’s three ecoregions—the wildflower meadows and grasses of Blackland Prairie, the creekside Riparian Forest, and the Upland Forest, home to dense trees as well as many of the preserve’s wilder creatures.”
After virtually seeing this home and getting a bird’s eye view of everything West Plano has to offer, we’d like to invite you to tour it for yourself. We here at the Jackie Dorbritz Group and Dallas Golf Homes understand and appreciate how complicated and overwhelming the home buying or selling process can be and our entire team has been privileged to help hundreds of clients navigate this process. But we also believe that there’s nothing like coming home and that all the effort always pays off! Helping you find a place to call home - one that speaks to your likes and lifestyle - is a priority for us. Let us help you have a seamless and successful experience!
