Hi there --
I have now found two of these spiders inside my house today in Eastern Massachusetts (Newton, MA).
This image is as sharp as I could get... I hope i don't see another one, but if I do, I'll try to take an even sharper picture.
The size of the spider was approximately 3/8" long -- so, not very large.
Can anyone help with this?

It's a jumping spider (family Salticidae); looks like a Platycryptus sp. -
