I've never see a 3 phase in a house.
Quite some years ago my father inquired about getting
3 phase power to his house to power a rather husky lathe.
The answers were distributed between "impossible"
and "prohibitively expensive".
Phase converters are usually the answer for that sort of thing. Whether
old electro-mechanical (rotary), or newer static inverter designs, there
are solutions out there that will get the job done a lot cheaper than
convincing the utility to run a three-phase service drop to a residence.
Ironically, used three-phase equipment like lathes, milling machines,
large band saws, planers, etc. are relatively 'cheap as chips' on the
second-hand market.
