Hi. That is a good feeling you have. Looks like it might be a gravid Pholcus phalangioides.
There are a number of other similar cellar spiders, the long bodied one of the most common house spiders known.

You must be right because this is right by the cellar.

LOL, well, I have one under the bathroom sink, another next to the refrigerator in the kitchen,and another just outside the door in an enclose porch.
I have a different sort called marbled cellar spiders out in planter boxes, they seem to prefer outside.
