Jun 13, 2019 at 2:22 comment added John Klein The cofiber of the map $\ast \times S^2 \to S^1 \times S^2$ is $S^1 \wedge (S^2_+) \simeq S^1 \vee S^3$ (which is still a finite complex). So $H_\bullet(X) \neq H_\bullet(S^1)$. Moreover it's clear from this that $\tilde X$ is homotopy equivalent to countable wedge of copies of $S^3$. But your example fails to satisfy condition (3).
