I believe it’s a southern house spider
Hi. Yes it is, one of my favorite spiders, Kukulcania hibernalis.
They are considered totally harmless, not known to bite. Not the least bit aggressive.
I can’t tell gender here, likely sub adult and could molt to be male looking much different
Here is one of my adult wayward males:

‘Ol Lady’ is about 4 years old here, lived almost 2 more behind my water cooler.

Indoors, their worst may be a messy web if in the open.
