The house made famous by the Breaking Bad TV series is up for sale, and the owners of the otherwise unassuming home in one of Albuquerque’s older neighbourhoods are hoping the property’s role in the long-running series will help them fetch a pretty penny.

Centred on mythical methamphetamine cookers Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, the series wrapped up more than a decade ago, but its legacy continues to draw looky-loos to the home and other associated filming spots around town.

New Mexico’s governor also recently tapped the Walter White character, played by Bryan Cranston, to star in a campaign against littering in New Mexico.

While Breaking Bad certainly has left its mark on New Mexico and the quiet block in Albuquerque where the house stands, the listing is sure to reignite interest.
