Breaking Bad! Walter White’s House Listed For Sale At $4 Million

Breaking Bad fans have a new opportunity as Walter White’s home from the series is listed for sale at a mouthwatering $4 million. According to the current owners, they are done with the house, saying, “It’s time to move on.”

Walter White’s house from Breaking Bad is up for sale

Since fans learned where Bryan Cranston’s character, Walter White and his family, lived in the series, they have visited the property day and night, capturing the exterior of the house on their phones and cameras for posterity. However, they were not allowed to enter the house.

One of the current owners, Joanne Quintana, grew up in the home with her siblings and recently invited KOB 4 cameras inside the home for the first time. Quintana explained that her late parents, Fran and Louis Padilla, bought the house in 1973 and the family was living there happily.

However, one random knock at the door in 2006 led to the house becoming a major part of TV history. Quintana said:

My mother never ever answers the door, and she did. They introduced themselves and handed her a card and said, ‘We would like to use your house for a pilot.’

Meanwhile, the family checked up to confirm the project was the real thing and gave their permission. Two weeks later, filming began.

However, KOB 4 reports that the family only received an unspecified fee for each shoot and they do not receive residuals from Breaking Bad.

Just for fun, fans of the show will no doubt remember the famous “pizza” scene:

Attracting Breaking Bad fans

KOB 4 Eyewitness News’ video reveals that the iconic house has drawn tourists from around the world since the hit drama series first aired. The show starred Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul and ended in 2013.

Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the four-bedroom, one-bathroom home was just listed with an eye-watering $4 million price tag. However, according to Zillow, the estimated market value of the ranch-style home is only $343,100.

“We were, like anybody, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You got to meet the actors, the actresses, you got to see how they set up the equipment and what it all takes,” said Quintana.

Meanwhile, the family has some fond memories of the filming. Fran regularly provided cookies for the cast and crew, but Bryan Cranston never got to enjoy them. His mouth probably watered at the sight of the delicious treats, but he wasn’t allowed to partake.

“What was funny was Bryan Cranston could not eat one cookie,” Quintana explained. “Because he had cancer in the show, so he was losing weight. So he would pass, but everybody, all the directors, all the writers, would eat the cookies.”

She said he finally indulged on the last day of filming and even took a picture “holding my mom’s biscotti.”

Running for five seasons, Breaking Bad received Emmy Awards with fans enjoying a total of 62 episodes, so the filming drew unexpected attention to the otherwise quiet suburb.

However, the constant attention was overwhelming for the family, while some fans often took things too far with practical, Breaking Bad jokes.

Quintana recalls one incident where the doorbell rang at 4:30 in the morning. Her mom got up and opened the door to find a package addressed to Walter White. The family quickly called the authorities, who sent a bomb squad to the home. She said that they were forced to beef up security around the house, with a fence and motion-sensor cameras, adding:

My brothers said, that’s it, we’re done, fence is going up. That’s too close for comfort, the front door.

Moreover, Quintana said that, on average, some 300 cars would drive past the property every day and it just became too much. She added that it’s time to move on. No doubt whoever buys the iconic Breaking Bad house will attract the same attention.
