Steven Gaines (inset) is listing his Hamptons home at 11 Westwood Road for $2.99 million. The contemporary Wainscott spread is where he wrote hits “Philistines at the Hedgerow: Passion and Property in the Hamptons,” “The Sky’s the Limit: Passion and Property in Manhattan,” and biographies of Calvin Klein and Roy Halston Frowick (known as Halston, his luxury fashion label).

Gaines’ 3,200-squarefoot pad was formerly inhabited by Bill Higgins, who owned “The Swamp,” Wainscott’s legendary gay club. It features four bedrooms and 3½ bathrooms, plus dramatic walls of glass, a fireplace, a pool and a 70-foot great room.
