I have a good friend. Her home is not far away from my home. She doesn't need a ride to get to my home. On foot is Ok. She goes out from her home ,then goes accross the street. My home is opposite to hers.

I have a couple of comments. In the sentence, “Her home is not far away from my home,” I would say it in one of two ways.
(1) Her home is not far from mine.
(2) Her home is not far away.
In everyday speech, I think “far away” takes the place of “far from sth” so you would not have to use both together.
You could also say: "She leaves her house and crosses the street. My home is directly opposite hers. " I think "to" would be optional here..
Very good!
