This (I'm assuming female) spider was around 2 inches in length, one of the biggest Ive seen in a very long time. seen some of these before but never near anywhere as large, or in my house for that matter.
any info would be great.
thanks.

Based on the large eye shine ans the lack of visible spinnerets, this could be a large female wolf spider (family Lycosidae, such as a Schizocosa sp. - see http://tinyurl.com/mxfe79 for an example.

It appears to be a large wolf spider or huntsman spider. Possibly.
