It's a Picea abies/Spruce. It will grow big over time.

There were three of them in front of my front steps when we bought the house 35 years ago. They kept growing. No amount of trimming would keep them in check. Shaping them left dead spots exposed. I finally got rid of them and planted yews that do not mind shaping instead.
