This actually just came up recently in a conversation I had with a person I would consider an expert, and he said you can't get 3-phase power in residential. I didn't ask him to elaborate, so I'm not sure if he meant "as a matter of policy" or "against code" or some kind of physical limitation.
That said, everyone can get 240 (and almost everyone does, for the washer/dryer), and I'm pretty sure that with 240 and a device (VFD?) anyone can kinda create their own 3-phase on a smaller scale.
