About Rancho Sans Souci
An Eichler publication describes Rancho Sans Souci as a designated Eichler neighborhood under Sunnyvale’s Eichler design guidelines and notes a house on Laurentian Way that keeps its original 1968 character. Exterior changes there need a city planner’s approval, and second stories are discouraged but not banned; there’s no single-story zoning district.
Eichler sales reported to the MLS sit on Laurentian Way, MacKenzie Drive, Olympus Court and Pendleton Avenue, so this page follows those streets.
It’s one of Eichler’s later South Bay neighborhoods, though not the last: Primewood, also in Sunnyvale, was built from 1969 to 1972.

Buying or selling a Rancho Sans Souci Eichler
- Radiant heatMost Eichlers were built with hot-water radiant heat in the slab. Ask whether the original system still runs, has been repaired or was replaced, and get a radiant-heat specialist to look before you remove contingencies.
- The roofThe low-slope roofs and their insulation are a common upgrade. Ask for the roof’s age, material and any permits.
- Glass and wallsOriginal single-pane glass and thin wall panels are typical. Many owners have upgraded; ask what was done and whether it was permitted.
- Sunnyvale rulesSunnyvale’s Eichler design guidelines (2009) apply in designated Eichler neighborhoods. Check the parcel’s zoning and the guidelines with Sunnyvale Planning before you plan changes.
