Their house was made famous by a great TV series: family has had enough of annoying fans!

Albuquerque - Where Walter White, his wife Skylar and their son Flynn used to live in the fictional world of "Breaking Bad", a normal family now lives in reality. They can no longer stand living there and want to sell the house.

When Fran and Louis Padilla's doorbell rang in 2006, the family had no idea that half the world would soon be peering into their living room.

Back then, the producers of the popular TV series, in which a boring chemistry teacher turns into a feared methamphetamine chef, came to their door and explained that they would like to use the property in the US city of Albuquerque for filming, daughter Joanne Quintana recalls to the US station"KOB-TV".

The downside: with the fame of the series, more and more fans made a pilgrimage to their home, making a normal life impossible. Even a fence erected around the house and alarm systems installed did nothing to change this. "We have an average of 300 cars a day," says Quintana.

Family wants to sell property

After the death of her parents, the time has now come to sell the property: "This has been our family home since 1973, almost 52 years. We will only walk away with our memories. It's time to move on. We are finished. There's no need to fight anymore."

Now the house is up for sale for a price of four million US dollars (around 3.9 million euros).

Even if the intrusive fans were not always bearable, the owner hopes that her house will remain associated with the TV show in the future: "I hope they make it what the fans want. They want a BnB, they want a museum, they want access to it."
