About this home
Oh if these walls could talk! Rich with history and charm, this timeless treasure is located in the heart of downtown Rutherfordton and will take you back to yesteryear with it's refreshing grace and beauty. Listed on The National Historic Homes Registry, the Cedar Inn was a boarding home for over a century and the town's first pharmacy. While the home is grand and spacious it also has a cozy and inviting feel from the preserved heart pine wood floors, original door knobs, windows and custom moldings. On the main level, the stately foyer gives access to multiple living spaces and a stairwell to the upper level. Upstairs you will find spacious bedrooms and abundant storage. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive with the oversized covered front porch and fenced back yard that is almost completely shaded by mature trees and landscaping. Adding to the value of this stately residence is the completely new HVAC system (2024). This magnificent home would make a wonderful bed and breakfast or gathering space for large families or groups.
