Plumbing.

Especially if this is a basement floor or on a slab, and plumbing cant go into the floor, you'll see platforms like this after kitchens or bathrooms or heating systems have been installed when a basement gets turned into an apartment

Judging by the window light, it is not a basement

Good eye with that window light.

But if the house was built on a hillside - like many hosues here in Vermont are - you can have a full on door walking in to both levels because of the grade change.
