Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is one of the Giant House Spiders, there were 3 species that were synonymized as Eratigena atrica a few years ago, then just recently they were separated back into 3 species again because of DNA testing … so I need to reacquaint myself with them. I’m thinking yours may be Eratigena saeva (labeled Tegenaria saeva in the following link):
