Murfreesboro Electric Department wants to make sure you know how to conserve cash by conserving power.

Organized in 1939 as a municipal, customer-owned utility, Murfreesboro Electric Department is one of 159 members and distributors of power from the Tennessee Valley Authority.

While Murfreesboro Electric Department’s website looks like something out of the late ‘90s, its front page features a link to “Energy Saving Tips,” which takes one to EnergyRight.com , a program provided by TVA to help consumers learn about how to save Watts . . . and dollars.

Do you have $3,500,000 to spend on real estate?  If so, you might be interested in 307 Double Springs Road here in Murfreesboro, according to NashvilleRealEstateLink.com , the most expensive MLS listing in the Boro.

Including three properties on fifteen acres on what is described as “potential commercial corner land with major road frontage [emphasis removed],” the location presently is a “money making duplex property [emphasis removed].”

Located on both John Bragg and Double Springs Roads, this 2.56 acre plot of land includes a house and carport, and plenty of space to build or use for just about anything.

The house itself was built in 1957, contains 4,504 square feet (although it looks considerably cozier from the street), and features a vaulted roof.

Estimated annual taxes for the house are $1,526.
