It is true that all native European spruce is now regarded as Picea Abies.
Like the humans who developed some time after the trees, there are regional variations due to environment.
There are transplanted spruces in Europe as well as in the Americas.
I don't assume expertise, but I think it is a challenge to estimate the quality of timber as a tonewood from any tree until it is felled.
I am sorry to hear of the fine tree on what is currently your land.
I'm sorry to hear that it is "encroaching" on your driveway and house.
Considering the longevity of trees, and humans, could it not be that your drive and house are encroaching on the tree?
