I'm not sure but old owners of the house left a leather couch. The daughter of them said they had it since before she was born (in early 90s). Not sure about it but the tag that said leather was left on. It's pretty torn up but also very very old. Look for a darker couch color. We have a light grey fabric loveseat next to the real couch but no dogs or cats allowed on that one. Sectionals/sofa doesn't really matter just based off of style. Don't go too bold like bright red but a maroon shade would be okay. Also don't buy a sleeper sofa specifically. Unless you know you'll use it, otherwise it'll sit unused and get funky inside. Take proper care of your couch and vacuum regularly. Don't get too heavy of a one if it's close to the floor make sure you can lift and move it slightly in order to clean. It's a far enough away from the floor it's not as much or a problem.
