For sale: the original, doomed house from 'Breaking Bad'

Since 1973, Joanne Quintana's family has lived in a ranch-style home that might not be a big deal in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

But everything changed in 2006 when the 'Breaking Bad' crew showed up at Quintana's house and offered to rent their home for a series they were developing. The rest is television history.

Between 2008 and 2013, the Quintanas shared a house with the Whites, some in reality and others in fiction.

Today, the series is more than a decade gone, but the Quintanas have not had any peace. The solution? Selling the place.

As Joanne Quintana told local station KOB4: "This was our family home from 1973, almost 52 years, So we're going to walk away with just our memories. It's time to move on. We're done. There’s no reason to fight anymore."

But fighting against what? Well, basically, against the tens of thousands of fans of the series who, since its premiere, have visited the house. On some occasion, they have even tried to sneak in.

The owner talks about an average of 300 cars a day that pass by the house, including some that, also daily, try to recreate the famous pizza scene from 'Breaking Bad' on the roof of her house.

"We've had pizzas on our roof. We've had pizzas on our driveway; pizzas until we’re sick of looking at pizzas," Joanne Quintana told NPR.

The issue was so serious that Vince Gilligan, the creator of 'Breaking Bad', called on fans in 2015 to please stop throwing pizzas. "There is nothing original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady's roof," he commented on social media. Sadly, he was ignored.

So, for now, the house is for sale. And since it's a famous house, the Quintanas have decided to ask a price worthy of a collector's item or a tourist destination.

The house is now on the market for $4 million. That's ten times as expensive as comparable homes in the area.

It's the price for a 2,000-square-foot house with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a pool in the backyard. No need to explain further details, because millions of people know the house already.

The median home price in the same zip code is $421,000, nearly 10 times less than the price of the Quintanas' home. Will they be able to get that price for the house?

It's understandable they try to bank on the fame of the building. The family deserves some compensation for years of harassment by fans of the series.

The problem? The high price may not bother the biggest fans, but the craziness that comes with it, will give them pause.

Whoever decides to live in that house will also suffer the daily visits of fans. Therefore, the residence doesn't provide for a new season of the series but it will give you a life story worthy of a film, with an ending that is difficult to resolve.
