I found this in my house this morning. I suspect I know what it is, but would like confirmation.
Thanks,
Dave

Must be a wolf spider. I'm unsure of the specie but its very attractive.

It's a member of the family Gnaphosidae. I'm not sure what species. You can tell it's a Gnaphoide by the cylindrical spinnerets. Wolf spiders typically have short spinnerets.
Hope this helps!

Thanks! I was thinking it might be a brown recluse, but I'm glad I'm wrong.

Looks like a Parson spider to me.

Thanks Wuk, it looks like you hit the nail on the head! Here's a pic of a Parson spider:
