I think you have tons of options. This is really an interior design/ planning question. 4 humans can quite reasonably live in 720 square feet. Is there really no co-sleeper small enough to fit? Like what about this? That looks to be only 27 inches wide. A baby could stay in that to 8 months/ 20 lbs.
Baby's bedroom after that could be the living room. Baby will probably not be sleeping a lot (after 8 months) when your son is home, so it shouldn't be a problem. The real issue will be keeping the living room quiet enough after baby's bed time, but some kids get used to it. Also, the other family members can go into their bedrooms perhaps.
But, that probably isn't the best solution forever. I think it would probably work until the kid can climb out of the crib, 2, or 3 years old?
Maybe by that point you'll have the money to do an add on. If not, I think the third phase is that the new baby (now 3!) gets your bedroom if you think they can't share a room. You and Dad sleep in the living room, possibly on the nicest futon/ or pull out you can afford. Obviously, that isn't great, its a hassle. You'll have to talk to your 14 year old about boundaries, especially. A screen or curtain might help, depending on the layout.
4 years of that. But then, presumably your older son might go away to college. You get your room back, and baby gets the smaller room. When son comes home for Christmas etc. he gets the living room.
To really make this work you need to be ruthless at every turn with unnecessary possessions. Even now, really evaluate whether all of the things you feel you need "storage" for, are necessary. It may be helpful to buy some multi functional/ storeable furniture, such as a folding table as your dining room table, stacking chairs, the above-mentioned sleeper couch, curtains, dividers, Ikea curtain cord hangers.
