If you want 3 floors (ignoring the basement here) I'd think you'd be looking at a commercial hydraulic elevator, which was a lot more money the last time I installed one in a commercial building.
You can get residential hydraulic elevators today that go up to 5 floors, with minimal equipment space (no pit needed). If I recall, the cab sits on a forklift type setup that is wall mounted in the shaft with a small hydraulic pump/control center in an adjacent equipment space. Slow moving, but fine for residential.
