Robert:
On purpose I included, when providing my answer, a reference which lists both sala comedor AND sala de estar in the same apartment. Once again based on my experience, sala de estar is NOT a formal living room, is similar to what Americans called a den. "De estar" where one hangs out (usually de TV is in this room). Sala comedor is specific to a FORMAL living room/dining room combo...Of course it is up to you to chose whatever fits your context best.
Here is one more for your convenience:
Excelente departamento de 3 dormitorios, 2 baños completos, baño de visita, Sala Comedor, Bar, Terraza, Cocina, Lavandería, Área de Servicio completa, Sala de Estar.

Note from asker:
Thank you, Lorena. I just wonder that, if the term in my context does indeed refer to "a combination living-dining room," then what "estar" would refer to. I would have thought that "estar" = "living room." |

Comment: "Thanks to Taña for quickly putting me on the right track and to Lorena for providing a definitively correct expansion and translation. I have also included Neil's suggestion in the glossary entry (which seems limited to UK usage).

: As Lorena says, it's more likely "sala comedor", that's the common expression here in Mexico too, as it's one room loosely divided into two areas, a lounge and dining room.

Thank you. We won´t know for sure, will we? I went with "sala de comedor" in light of the presence of "estar" in this context. http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=sala...
