Walter White may be the one who knocks, but the owners of his home in real life are sick of too many knockers at their door.
The Breaking Bad house has hit the market for a cool $6.4m (US$4m) — because the current owner is fed up with fans of the show gawking at her property, The Post reports.
The ranch-style home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was the TV abode of Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, his wife Skylar, and their son Walt Jr. in the hit show, which aired from 2006 to 2013.

Current resident Joanne Quintana grew up in the home and was there with her parents when they first began filming the iconic series in the small unassuming property.
At first the filming was a blessing — a “once in a lifetime thing” that allowed her and her family to witness “the magic of Hollywood,” which included interacting with the entire cast and crew, Quintana told local TV outlet KOB.

She would even bake cookies for all of the workers and actors for every shoot — but told KOB that Cranston was only able to indulge in one on the last day because his character was suffering from cancer and needed to appear thin.
But that stardust in her eyes soon turned to dirt — as fans of the show started to make pilgrimages to her quiet block.
After initially taking photos with visitors and entertaining the consequences of a famous house, the Quintanas became overrun with strangers and even received unwanted packages at their home, according to the report.

“Around 4:30am, the doorbell rang, my mum got up and opened the door, and it was a package,” Quintana recalled of one occasion.
The package was addressed to “Walter White” and the family was so concerned they called the bomb squad.
They soon put up a fence — but that did not deter television fanatics from driving by and gawking.
“We average 300 cars a day. Come Ballon Fiesta, hundreds of thousands come for balloons. Balloons go up, they come down. Where do they come? Here,” an exasperated Ms Quintana told KOB.

Some particularly committed Heisenberg fans even tossed full pizzas on the roof of the house’s garage in an homage to a classic scene from the show.
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan reprimanded fans for the unsavoury move.
“There is nothing original, or funny, or cool, about throwing a pizza on this lady’s roof,” he said on the “Better Call Saul” podcast back in 2022.
“She is the sweetest lady in the world, and if you are getting on her nerves you are doing something seriously f***ing wrong,” he emphasised.

Ms Quintana is asking $6.4m (US$4m) for the home. The median price in the Albuquerque area is $400,000, according to AP.
“This was our family home from 1973, almost 52 years,” she told KOB.“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.”
