That's quite similar to me with a 4BR in Massachusetts.
I'm in the 550-600 kWH range for most of the year. Goes up a little bit in the summer if I'm running my 1-2 window unit ACs on occasion. In the summer, I do run several fans more or less continuously.
I do have an electric oven, dishwasher, washer, dryer, and several refrigerators. I also still have a fair number of halogen or other incandescent lights although I'm slowly swapping in LEDs. On the other hand, it's mostly just me and I do a fair bit of traveling so appliances and lighting probably don't add as much as they could.
I have a little bit of baseboard heat but I rarely use either that or my space heaters. (Forced hot water heat and water heater.)
My electric company says my use is about average in the area for the size of my house (albeit their figure is a few hundred square feet too low).
