A single family dwelling is one designed to be occupied by a single family as opposed to, say, a condominium or apartment building which is expected to be occupied by two or more distinct families.

The term refers to the building itself, not necessarily how it's used (some locations may have laws restricting the number of unrelated people who can live in a single family dwelling).

Does an elevator which exclusively serves two separately owned apartments on the third floor of a three story condominium building provide service to a single family dwelling?

Your question is complex. First, the elevator serves owned apartments in a condominium building. Then the elevator may be known as a limited common element. Since the elevator serves both units, the location of the 'single family dwelling' is unclear. (Both apartments are condominium units; neither is commonly described as a 'single family dwelling'.)
