If you have spare load capacity and a vacant double slot for a 40 amp 220V breaker in your electric panel for the kitchen stove you have it made if the furnace would not be a problem and the dryer is already electric. Running the wire for an electric range should not be that much expense. A 2004 build no doubt was required to have spare capacity and unless it has been used for other purposes should handle a kitchen stove.
The electric air handler/electric furnace for a heat pump would need a 35 amp 220V breaker. Outside unit should be wired already (35 amp 220V) most likely to handle a heat pump.
A 2004 original AC unit would be getting on up in it's life so it might be a good time to change it out.
Most if not all of the newer homes south of CR 466A are all electric.
