English style with a modern renovation is on display at the Leeds House, an Anglo/Norman manor house on the market in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $2.95 million.

The stone home on over an acre of land borders Fairmount Park and was designed by the architectural firm of Mellor, Meigs and Howe in 1930.

The home was built for noted industrialist Morris Leeds, an inventor and founder of the company that became Leeds & Northrup, the first American manufacturer of quality scientific research and testing instruments.

This home underwent a major restoration in 2008/2009 giving it a new state-of-the-art kitchen, seven new bathrooms, central air and an in-law suite with two bathrooms, kitchen and a separate entrance.

Treasured original features include beamed and vaulted ceilings; eight distinctive fireplaces of European and Colonial American design; mahogany and pine paneled rooms; hand carved stonework and fine ornamental plasterwork.

The grounds feature a pool, garden, terraces and park.
