Yes you can.

The only practical limitation is if the POH says so and given it's a Cessna, has dual controls, yoke, pedals etc, you are good to go.

This question comes up a lot and you're usually hit with a barrage of "my school says this, my CFI said that, blah blah" but if you're talking about your private aircraft then you are talking a non-event. The only limitation you could potentially face would be your piloting skills and your insurance company and only you can answer those questions.

I once owned an aircraft that had dual controls but the POH said Left-Hand solo seat only because the safety glass hammer was located behind the right passenger seat - caught me a little by surprise when I read it.
