ALBUQUERQUE, NM – The iconic Albuquerque home known to the world as Walter White’s home in “Breaking Bad” is officially for sale for $4 million.

The homeowners let KOB 4 take a look, and it was the first time cameras were allowed inside.

Even more than a decade after the show ended, it still attracts tourists from all over the world. Fans take photos outside day and night, but most people are not allowed inside.

Joanne Quintana and her siblings grew up in and own the home in northeast Albuquerque. Her parents, Fran and Louis Padilla, bought it in 1973.

Then, one random day in 2006, a knock on the door changed her life.

“My mother never answers the door, and she did. They introduced themselves, handed her a card and said, ‘We’d like to use your house as a pilot.’ And she says, ‘You want to buy a bridge in Brooklyn? What are you talking about?'” Quintana said.

Fiery Fran confirmed that the project was legitimate and that it was just a pilot, so they took the plunge. Filming began two weeks later.

“We, like everyone else, thought it was a once in a lifetime thing. You got to know the actors and actresses, you could see how they set up the equipment and everything that goes into it,” said Quintana.

Contrary to popular belief, they only used the inside of the house for equipment and preparation – not for scenes.

The family was there for the legendary pizza scene. Joanne says they had boxes of pizzas on their sidewalk in case Bryan Cranston didn’t make it on the first try, but he did on the first try.

For the pivotal scene when Skyler enters the family’s pool, the family took a photo as they filled the pool with 90-degree water to make the actress comfortable.

Fran always had cookies for the crew.

“The funny thing was that Bryan Cranston couldn’t eat a single cookie. Because on the show he had cancer and that’s why he lost weight. So he would pass, but everyone, all the directors, all the writers would eat the cookies. On the last day of filming, he took a photo with my mom’s biscotti because he could finally eat her cookies,” Quintana said. “Aaron Paul had to grunt and get angry to get into his role as Jesse. That was great. And the magic of Hollywood, no one will ever be able to experience what we did.”

Then the show became an international sensation.

“The fans started coming. We went there, my mother and I, and took photos with them,” Quintana said.

But when did the point come when they had to put up the fence?

“Around 4:30 a.m. the doorbell rang, my mom got up and opened the door and there was a package,” Quintana said.

The package was addressed to Walter White at the Padilla family home, so they called the bomb squad.

“My brothers said that’s it, we’re done, the fence is going up. “That’s too close to the front door,” Quintana said.

Now cameras alert them when someone is outside.

“We have an average of 300 cars a day. Come to the Balloon Fiesta, hundreds of thousands come to get balloons. Balloons go up, they come down again. Where are you from? Here,” Quintana said.

As Quintana’s parents grew older, it became increasingly difficult for them to keep her safe inside.

“Nobody knew that there were two people who were very sick, ended up in hospice and ended up dying,” Quintana said.

Now, she says, it’s finally time to sell.

“This has been our family home since 1973, for almost 52 years. So we walk away with only our memories. It’s time to move on. We’re done. There is no reason to fight anymore,” Quintana said.

Zillow estimates the 1,900-square-foot home would cost less than $350,000, but the family only received a fee per shoot, no residuals.

Given the multi-million dollar price tag, the family assumes it will no longer be a single-family home, nor do they believe it should be.

“I hope they do what the fans want. They want a BnB, they want a museum, they want access to it. Do it,” Quintana said.

For years, people have been showing up with luggage and thinking they’ve rented the house. A man wearing a speedometer paid a thousand dollars for a dip in the pool.

“That’s what they want. They want the iconic pool,” Quintana said.
