In 1874, a Russian composer named Modest Mussorgsky wrote a piano suite called 'Pictures at an Exhibition.' It was raw, powerful, and imaginative — if slightly awkward. More sketches than finished paintings. Bold ideas that couldn't quite find their stride. For decades, it lived in quiet obscurity. Then in 1922, Maurice Ravel — a French master of orchestration — saw it for what it truly was. He took those vivid piano notes and brought them to life: Trumpets blazed. Percussion thundered. Strings swept in like wind across a gallery floor. He didn't rewrite it. He revealed it. And he turned it into something the world would never forget. Today, when orchestras perform 'Pictures at an Exhibition,' they don't play Mussorgsky's version. They play Ravel's. This home is Ravel's version. An overlooked French Revival, reimagined into something enduring and extraordinary. The craftsmanship is so refined, it's easy to overlook the practical luxuries woven throughout: three fireplaces, generous bedrooms, custom mahogany garage doors opening to an oversized garage with workshop, a spacious unfinished daylight basement, and exceptional closet storage. Poised above the 13th green of the Lakes Course in North Ridge, the home takes in a sweeping view of lake and landscape, a view as composed as it is unforgettable.
