One is correct.
For two to be correct to use, you need to 'extend' the sentence, to something like, "I saw you outside from the upstairs of my home.
Helps?

One is correct. Upstairs is an adverb. It doesn't take an article.
In case the above was not clear, "there" is an adverb, because it tells you something about a verb, and "corner" is a noun, because it names something that exists. So you don't say "I saw you from the there", because you don't add an article to the adverb "there", but you do say "I saw you from the corner", because you can (and usually must) add an article to "corner" which is a noun.

One -- unless you say "from the upstairs area" or something.
Better sentence:
From upstairs I could see you outside.

Both are correct, however the first is commonly accepted in everyday speech.
