Maybe knock out the wall at the top of the stairs too?
Even then, what would something like that roughly cost]

Typically no you can't remove that kitchen wall in a two story house. It's holding up the second floor and will be full of utility runs. Of course anything is possible and for the right price you can make it happen. But you will have to involve engineers, every trade in the book. And you will be structuring it from the dirt below your basement floor to the roof of the house.
It sure could use that type of reno though. But you be 150k into it minimum.
