very small, odd shaped living room with no room for a couch, help!

I am under contract for a home that has one flaw--a tiny living room that doubles as the entry. The worst part is there is a staircase that leads right down into what should have been the longest wall. From looking at the space, I see no way for a couch to fit there, let alone a TV or anything else. Not a deal-breaker for purchasing the home (obviously, I'm under contract). But what can I do with this space to make it cozy and functional, without blocking the traffic pattern between the stairs, the front door, and the hall to the rest of the house?

I attempted to do a floorplan (below). The magic button obviously didn't work well... (the "door" facing the chair in the floorplan is actually the staircase)
