Answer 10

The Common house spider(species name, also called American house spider) is around 1/4 of an inch(body) on average. They don't get much larger. If by house spider you meant any spider that can get into a house, then pretty d**n big. I've had spiders at about 3.5 inches(front leg to back leg) get into a beachfront rental property down south.

I have seen them up to three inches in length
