Iconic ‘Breaking Bad’ house in New Mexico goes up for sale for nearly $4 million

The iconic home from the hit TV series Breaking Bad has been put up for sale for $4 million as owners hope its previous appearance in the AMC hit will boost sales.

Before being put on the market, the house was subjected to hundreds of cars driving by in a single day, owner Joanne Quintana said. KOB TV.

While the average price in the Albuquerque area is almost $400.00, the famous appeal of the house from the hit show has led Quintana and her family to price it at just under $4 million.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is described in the listing as one of Alburquerque’s “most famous landmarks,” recognized by millions of fans worldwide.

Breaking Bad revolved around fictional chemistry teacher and meth kingpin Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston.

When White is diagnosed with cancer, he finds a way to support his family after his death by making and selling his own crystal methamphetamine with his former student Jesse Pinkman.

Although the show wrapped more than a decade ago, the house and other filming locations around the city continue to draw crowds of fans hoping to catch a glimpse.

Quintana said her parents bought the house in the 1970s, and she and her siblings grew up there.

The home’s listing approached the sale as a relic of the show, calling it Walter White’s House and offering it as a chance to own a “piece of television history.”

At first they did not shy away from this and even took pictures with fans, but when the doorbell rang in the early morning hours, their attitude changed. “My brothers said, ‘That’s it, we’re done, the gate is going up. That’s too close for comfort, that’s the front door,'” Quintana said

However, as the show gained popularity, it became more difficult for her family to be protected, and they were forced to erect a metal fence and install security cameras.

Now that her parents are gone, she decided it was time to sell.

‘This was our parental home from 1973, almost 52 years old. So we’re going to walk away with only our memories. It’s time to move on. We’re done. There is no reason to fight anymore,” she told the channel.

Quintana’s mother was approached by a film scout in 2006 with the hope of shooting the pilot episode at their home, and within months filming had begun.

The family had the chance to go behind the scenes and meet the cast and crew. Quintana’s mother also always had cookies for everyone who worked on set.

Quintana recalled pizza boxes lining the sidewalk for the famous pizza scene, where Cranston landed the pizza face up on the roof after his character’s wife, Skyler, closed the door in his face.

Since then, the homeowners said it’s been hard to keep fans from throwing their own pizza or sneaking into the iconic backyard pool.

However, the house was only used for equipment and preparation, all interior scenes were shot in the studio.

At first they did not shy away from this and even took pictures with fans, but when the doorbell rang in the early morning hours, their attitude changed.

“Around 4:30 in the morning the doorbell rang, my mom got up and opened the door and it was a package,” Quintana said. The package was addressed to Walter While, so they called the bomb squad.

‘My brothers said: ‘That’s it, we’re done, the gate is going up. That’s too close for comfort, that’s the front door,’” she added.

For years, people showed up with luggage, thinking they had rented the house through scammers. One gentleman, wearing a speedo, even paid a thousand dollars for a dip in the pool.

‘I hope they make it what the fans want. They want a BnB, they want a museum, they want access to it. Go for it,” Quintana said.
